says that in conversation about the Interstate
commerce Commission the President made use
of about this languages: Colonel Morrison is
just the kind of man 1 want to put on that
commission, and hesitated some days before
deciding what to do But am loath to call the
Senate together after the 4th Of March, and at
the same time do not wish to have the commits
sion enter upon its work with any unsettled

tions prompt me to make the selections before
the adjournment and as soon as possible" The

The Langtry Kiss.

Chiacgo Mail: Mrs. Langtry has in
vented q kiss that double discounts any.
thing Of the kind ever attempted by Emma
Abbott. As Lady Clancarty, her husband,
escapes from his pursuers through IN open
window into her room, she stands with
her back to the audience clear down the
stage, near the footlights. The husband
looks at her q moment and then rushes
wildly into her arms. Then both swing
around and expose their profles to the
audience. Then they hold each other at
arms length. Then her head falls upon
his breast, reclining backwards. There ia
a crimson blush suffusing her charming
face. Then he looks down at her, and she
looks up at him. Then there is a percep-
tible pressure around the waist. Then he
suddenly places his lips to hers. Then
she clasps him around the head. Then
there is a soft, gurgling sound, as water es-
Gaping from q kitchen sink. Then they
are, as IL were. glued together. Then all
is still. Women in the audience become
nervous. Bald headed men are paralyzed.
Men around town have their watches out
timing them. One second, two, three,
four, five, six, ssven-and then there is
an explosion as if the bung had blown on,
OF a beer barrel. It is all over. That is
the Langtry kiss.

The New York Financial Chronicle, in
its review, of the movement of the cotton
crop for the week ending September 9,
says that the total receipts reached 3d.
800 bales, against 10, 270 bales last week.
9,G49 bales the previous week, and 1870
], ,499 bales three weeks since; making
the total receipts since September /,
1887, $3.50 bales, against II, 763 bales
for the same period of 1886, showing an
increase since September l, 1887, of
3, 756 bales.
The exports for the week reach total
OF w, 235 bales, of which 30, 470 were to
Great Britain, - to France, and l, ,7G5
to the rest of the continent.
The total visible supply Of cotton us
made up by cable and telegraph, for the
week is as follows:
Total of Great Britain stock 573, 600
bales, total of Continental stocks 331, 200
bales-makipg total of European stocks
of 924, 200 bales. Tho total visible sup
ply for the world is 1,218, 667 bales; of
this number 615, ,467 are American and
COB, 200 East Indian, nc.
The imports into Continental ports
for tho week have been 10000 bales.
There is an increase in the cotton in
| sight of 12l, ,370 bales as compared with
the same date of 1886, and an increase
of 80, 425 bales as compared with the
corresponding date of 1886.
The receipts at interior towns for the
week have been 25, ,G37 bales The old
| interior stocks have decreased during the
week 800 bales, and were, Friday night,
10, l42 bales less than at the same period
| last year.
The receipts from the plantations,
being the actual movement, not includ-
ing the overland receipts nor Southern
| consumption, of cotton that reached the
market through the outports for the
| past week were 80, ,SI6 bales.
| OF future speculation, the Financial
| Chronicle says: Except for an irregular
episode on Tuesday, connected with the
closing up of August contracts, the ten
dency of prices of cotton for future de-
livery at this market has been upward
for the week under review. Unfavnrablc
crop accounts have been asserted and
reiterated with much pertinacity, and the
very small stocks in American markets,
together with the full figures at which
prices and transactions in cotton on the
spot have been maintained, gave credence
| to report that an effort was being made
| to "corner" September contracts. To.
day an irregular opening was followed
ny an advance on the repetltlOn OIL unta-
rorable crop accounts, but decline was
caused by the free crop movement. Cot
ton on the spot has been quiet. Offer
ings were on very limited scale, except
of low grades, and odds and ends, for
which there was very little demand.

Monday and &c. Thursday, with more
doing for home consumption. The mar
